Whipup is a creativity blog, which was started by Kath from Red Current and involves some of everyone’s favourite creative bloggers. I admit I was skeptic about it first (Sorry, Kath :)) but they manage to surprise me almost every day with something new and interesting.

Whiplash is a contest that just started this week, in which you are supposed to post your fast, creative reaction to the weekly topic. The topic this week was "everyday creativity".

I decided to make something using things that were on my desk or in my desk drawers, something useful, something with materials that have been lying on my desk for a while and were starting to feel useless.

The mice were extrememly quick, easy and addictive – not to mention the thrill of finding the patterns that matched the tabs and the theme perfectly (ok, and maybe I’m a bit easily thrilled..)

This was a very fun crafty thing to do, and just the right thing for me, because I’m looking for small, quick crafts to make now, for those 10 minute breaks during the day. Those mice were just the thing.

About the sheep

My name is Ayelet.
I'm a designer, illustrator, mom to baby Toam (born in May 2008), knitter, somewhat-crafty, and mostly trying to figure out how everything fits together.

I try to live ecologically but sensibly. I'll recycle plastic for the rest of my life if you promise to never take away my clothes dryer.

This blog was given to me as a gift from my husband, Ez, on my 27th birthday and I've been using it since then as a sort of think tank/storage space for my thoughts, ideas, illustrations and crafty projects.
